We all know that
scuba diving is a very enjoyable and relaxing sport, but did you know that it is
truly good for your health…mind, body and soul? Whether you are a beginner
recreational diver interested in seeing the beautiful reefs of the sea, or an
experienced deep sea diver who travels to depths seldom seen by the human eye,
scuba diving can provide numerous benefits.

·Physical fitness: Swimming is one of the best modes of
aerobic and anaerobic work we can do. It provides both a cardiovascular workout
and a muscular workout as we move against the natural pressure of the water on
our bodies with little to no strain on our joints.

·Flexibility and strength: Your muscles also work harder
underwater as you move against the resistance of the current and the water
itself. With this, you strengthen your muscles as well as develop your
flexibility and endurance. Like swimming, which builds up the muscles in your
thighs and shoulders, diving can help tone your different muscle areas,
consequently giving you better posture.

·Healing effects of water: One other little known benefit to
being at depth is a healing factor. This was demonstrated and experienced by
researchers that remained in an underwater habitat for several weeks. The human
body uses oxygen to repair cuts and tears that we may get in different tissues
within our body.

·Breathing: Slow, deep breathing is important in
scuba diving to optimize air consumption and bottom time. An added bonus is
that deep, steady breathing promotes a calm attitude and reduces the risk of a
lung-expansion injury.

·Stress reliever: Similar to breathing during
meditation, breathing slowly and deeply while diving induces a calm, relaxed
state while the diver focuses on the underwater environment rather than
thinking about problems they may be experiencing in daily life. This helps to
reduce stress and balance the nervous system. A relaxed, calm state of mind has
been proven to promote a positive attitude and prevent depression.

·Social health benefit: When you dive, you meet other
like-minded people that share that common interest. It’s easy to make friends
among divers as you will find a sense of community among them. It’s an
exhilarating feeling to surface from a dive full of wonderful memories of your
experience and then to be able to talk about and share them with good
companions who are just as excited as you are!

·Travel to warm climates: They say that travel is the best
form of education and most people relish in the experience of visiting new
places, experiencing a different culture, and all the new sights and smells and
tastes that go with it. Dive travel abroad also means you are likely to meet
fun people from all over the world with whom you have a common interest.
